Yep, they can get stuck on there pretty good. You need to twist the plug wire first which helps break the seal loose and then wiggle while twisting. Here is a link to a set of plug wire pliers which do a good job if the aforementioned does not work for $21.00.

Yep, that is tough to get to. I would remove the ignition coils and I would remove the engine torque mount, (do not start engine) then while in park push the car forward a few inches which will cause the engine to roll to the front of the engine bay so you can get your hands back there, here is how. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
